Snow Yoga

As I sit here eating cookie dough, I’m reminded of how good milk is.  Skim milk.  Is there anything in the world more refreshing at times?  Yes, I’m eating what would be the equivalent of 10 cookies, but this is dinner and that’s ok.  Also, I went to my first Yoga class tonight.  It was at the Y and I’ll hopefully be continuing it soon.  I’ve got a couple of trial times I can go before I need to start paying.  It is called Fitness Yoga but I thing the “Fitness” part is just marketing redundancy.  The class was in fact half newbies like me and nothing was overly difficult.  For some of you out there who find yoga very hard, blame it on your instructor.  Mine was uber-nice and didn’t push us hard at all.  Also, I’m not inflexible so I could at least get into all the basic positions we did.  Besides not really being able to hinge from my hips while keeping my back straight, I felt great the whole time.  I hope to keep this up consistently for quite some time.  The Y also has Aqua Aerobics classes that I want to attend.  If that doesn’t get my endurance up I don’t know what will.  Whenever I get the membership set up, I plan on going to the Y four times a week.  I REALLY need this.

As many of you have had the past couple of days, Louisville is blanketed with snow.  It is really nice to have at least one good (more than 3 inches) snow storm every now and then.  But this crazy weather will melt it all away before the weekend is over.  (For goodness sake, my last post was about a summer-like storm with tornadoes!)  We had a snow day Tuesday which meant that the seminary had no scheduled activities.  Because Tuesday is my longest day, that didn’t bother me too much.  I was however looking forward to my first group supervision for the counseling program.  Alas, next week will be my first.

Let’s see, what else is going on.  Well Obama and McCain seem to be doing nicely in the primaries.  I went to Lex this weekend to enjoy fondue and game night as well as some much needed conversation and church.  I broke Lent when I purchased a food item: one roll of cookie dough.  I figured out how many meals I had in my apt left, and it was way short.  So one roll of Pillsbury will yield about 8 sad meals but I’ll get enough fat, calories, and carbs to get me through.  Also, I’ll drink more milk and that fills me up too.  I’m taking a multi-vitamin so I won’t get sick and die.  UK and UVa both lost tonight in bball.  Oh yeah, and happy St. Valentine’s Day to you all!  And especially you.
